Animal Agriculture

The Animal Agriculture program provides essential support and up-to-date, science-based information to local livestock and poultry producers in our county. Our focus is on profitability and sustainability, including encouraging the adoption of proven technology, business, and financial practices. We offer educational programs and technical assistance covering topics like nutrition, health management, pasture and forage production, and regulatory compliance for all types of animal operations.
